-## Skill
+Source builds on Linux require:
+
+- Rust 1.75+
+- `pkg-config`
+- X11 development libraries for input and windowing, typically `libx11-dev` and `libxtst-dev` on Debian/Ubuntu
+
+### npm
```bash
-npx skills add harivansh-afk/deskctl
+npm install -g deskctl-cli
+deskctl --help
```
-## Docs
+One-shot execution is also supported:
-- runtime contract: [docs/runtime-contract.md](docs/runtime-contract.md)
-- releasing: [docs/releasing.md](docs/releasing.md)
-- contributing: [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)
+```bash
+npx deskctl-cli --help
+```
-## Install paths
+`deskctl-cli` currently supports `linux-x64` and installs the `deskctl` command by downloading the matching GitHub Release asset.
-Nix:
+### Nix
```bash
nix run github:harivansh-afk/deskctl -- --help
nix profile install github:harivansh-afk/deskctl
```
-Rust:
+The repo flake is the supported Nix install surface in this phase.
+
+### Docker Convenience
+
+Build a Linux binary locally with Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml run --rm build
+```
+
+This writes `dist/deskctl-linux-x86_64`.
+
+Copy it to an SSH machine where `scp` is unavailable:
+
+```bash
+ssh -p 443 deskctl@ssh.agentcomputer.ai 'cat > ~/deskctl && chmod +x ~/deskctl' < dist/deskctl-linux-x86_64
+```
+
+Run it on an X11 session:
+
+```bash
+DISPLAY=:1 XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 ~/deskctl --json snapshot --annotate
+```
+
+### Local Source Build
```bash
cargo build
```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Diagnose the environment first
+deskctl doctor
+
+# See the desktop
+deskctl snapshot
+
+# Query focused runtime state
+deskctl get active-window
+deskctl get monitors
+
+# Click a window
+deskctl click @w1
+
+# Type text
+deskctl type "hello world"
+
+# Wait for a window or focus transition
+deskctl wait window --selector 'title=Firefox' --timeout 10
+deskctl wait focus --selector 'class=firefox' --timeout 5
+
+# Focus by explicit selector
+deskctl focus 'title=Firefox'
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+Client-daemon architecture over Unix sockets (NDJSON wire protocol).
+The daemon starts automatically on first command and keeps the X11 connection alive for fast repeated calls.
+
+Source layout:
+
+- `src/lib.rs` exposes the shared library target
+- `src/main.rs` is the thin CLI wrapper
+- `src/` contains production code and unit tests
+- `tests/` contains Linux/X11 integration tests
+- `tests/support/` contains shared integration helpers
+
+## Runtime Requirements
+
+- Linux with X11 session
+- Rust 1.75+ plus the source-build dependencies above when building from source
+
+The binary itself only links the standard glibc runtime on Linux (`libc`, `libm`, `libgcc_s`).
+
+For deskctl to be fully functional on a fresh VM you still need:
+
+- an X11 server and an active `DISPLAY`
+- `XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11` or an equivalent X11 session environment
+- a window manager or desktop environment that exposes standard EWMH properties such as `_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING` and `_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW`
+- an X server with the extensions needed for input simulation and screen metadata, which is standard on normal desktop X11 setups
+
+If setup fails, run:
+
+```bash
+deskctl doctor
+```
+
+## Contract Notes
+
+- `@wN` refs are short-lived handles assigned by `snapshot` and `list-windows`
+- `--json` output includes a stable `window_id` for programmatic targeting within the current daemon session
+- `list-windows` is a cheap read-only operation and does not capture or write a screenshot
+- the stable runtime JSON/error contract is documented in [docs/runtime-output.md](docs/runtime-output.md)
+
+## Read and Wait Surface
+
+The grouped runtime reads are:
+
+```bash
+deskctl get active-window
+deskctl get monitors
+deskctl get version
+deskctl get systeminfo
+```
+
+The grouped runtime waits are:
+
+```bash
+deskctl wait window --selector 'title=Firefox' --timeout 10
+deskctl wait focus --selector 'id=win3' --timeout 5
+```
+
+Successful `get active-window`, `wait window`, and `wait focus` responses return a `window` payload with:
+- `ref_id`
+- `window_id`
+- `title`
+- `app_name`
+- geometry (`x`, `y`, `width`, `height`)
+- state flags (`focused`, `minimized`)
+
+`get monitors` returns:
+- `count`
+- `monitors[]` with geometry and primary/automatic flags
+
+`get version` returns:
+- `version`
+- `backend`
+
+`get systeminfo` stays runtime-scoped and returns:
+- `backend`
+- `display`
+- `session_type`
+- `session`
+- `socket_path`
+- `screen`
+- `monitor_count`
+- `monitors`
+
+Wait timeout and selector failures are structured in `--json` mode so agents can recover without string parsing.
+
+## Output Policy
+
+Text mode is compact and follow-up-oriented, but JSON is the parsing contract.
+
+- use `--json` when an agent needs strict parsing
+- rely on `window_id`, selector-related fields, grouped read payloads, and structured error `kind` values for stable automation
+- treat monitor naming, incidental whitespace, and default screenshot file names as best-effort
+
+See [docs/runtime-output.md](docs/runtime-output.md) for the exact stable-vs-best-effort breakdown.
+
+## Distribution
+
+- GitHub Releases are the canonical binary source
+- crates.io package: `deskctl`
+- npm package: `deskctl-cli`
+- installed command on every channel: `deskctl`
+- repo-owned Nix install path: `flake.nix`
+
+For maintainer publishing and release steps, see [docs/releasing.md](docs/releasing.md).
+
+## Selector Contract
+
+Explicit selector modes:
+
+```bash
+ref=w1
+id=win1
+title=Firefox
+class=firefox
+focused
+```
+
+Legacy refs remain supported:
+
+```bash
+@w1
+w1
+win1
+```
+
+Bare selectors such as `firefox` are still supported as fuzzy substring matches, but they now fail on ambiguity and return candidate windows instead of silently picking the first match.
+
+## Support Boundary
+
+`deskctl` supports Linux X11 in this phase. Wayland and Hyprland are explicitly out of scope for the current runtime contract.
+
+## Workflow
+
+Local validation uses the root `Makefile`:
+
+```bash
+make fmt-check
+make lint
+make test-unit
+make test-integration
+make site-format-check
+make validate
+```
+
+`make validate` is the full repo-quality check and requires Linux with `xvfb-run` plus `pnpm --dir site install`.
+
+The repository standardizes on `pre-commit` for fast commit-time checks:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit install
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full contributor guide.

+# Runtime Output Contract
+
+This document defines the current output contract for `deskctl`.
+
+It is intentionally scoped to the current Linux X11 runtime surface.
+It does not promise stability for future Wayland or window-manager-specific features.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Keep `deskctl` fully non-interactive
+- Make text output actionable for quick terminal and agent loops
+- Make `--json` safe for agent consumption without depending on incidental formatting
+
+## JSON Envelope
+
+Every runtime command uses the same top-level JSON envelope:
+
+```json
+{
+ "success": true,
+ "data": {},
+ "error": null
+}
+```
+
+Stable top-level fields:
+
+- `success`
+- `data`
+- `error`
+
+`success` is always the authoritative success/failure bit.
+When `success` is `false`, the CLI exits non-zero in both text mode and `--json` mode.
+
+## Stable Fields
+
+These fields are stable for agent consumption in the current Phase 1 runtime contract.
+
+### Window Identity
+
+Whenever a runtime response includes a window payload, these fields are stable:
+
+- `ref_id`
+- `window_id`
+- `title`
+- `app_name`
+- `x`
+- `y`
+- `width`
+- `height`
+- `focused`
+- `minimized`
+
+`window_id` is the stable public identifier for a live daemon session.
+`ref_id` is a short-lived convenience handle for the current window snapshot/ref map.
+
+### Grouped Reads
+
+`deskctl get active-window`
+
+- stable: `data.window`
+
+`deskctl get monitors`
+
+- stable: `data.count`
+- stable: `data.monitors`
+- stable per monitor:
+ - `name`
+ - `x`
+ - `y`
+ - `width`
+ - `height`
+ - `width_mm`
+ - `height_mm`
+ - `primary`
+ - `automatic`
+
+`deskctl get version`
+
+- stable: `data.version`
+- stable: `data.backend`
+
+`deskctl get systeminfo`
+
+- stable: `data.backend`
+- stable: `data.display`
+- stable: `data.session_type`
+- stable: `data.session`
+- stable: `data.socket_path`
+- stable: `data.screen`
+- stable: `data.monitor_count`
+- stable: `data.monitors`
+
+### Waits
+
+`deskctl wait window`
+`deskctl wait focus`
+
+- stable: `data.wait`
+- stable: `data.selector`
+- stable: `data.elapsed_ms`
+- stable: `data.window`
+
+### Selector-Driven Action Success
+
+For selector-driven action commands that resolve a window target, these identifiers are stable when present:
+
+- `data.ref_id`
+- `data.window_id`
+- `data.title`
+- `data.selector`
+
+This applies to:
+
+- `click`
+- `dblclick`
+- `focus`
+- `close`
+- `move-window`
+- `resize-window`
+
+The exact human-readable text rendering of those commands is not part of the JSON contract.
+
+### Artifact-Producing Commands
+
+`snapshot`
+`screenshot`
+
+- stable: `data.screenshot`
+
+When the command also returns windows, `data.windows` uses the stable window payload documented above.
+
+## Stable Structured Error Kinds
+
+When a runtime command returns structured JSON failure data, these error kinds are stable:
+
+- `selector_not_found`
+- `selector_ambiguous`
+- `selector_invalid`
+- `timeout`
+- `not_found`
+- `window_not_focused` as `data.last_observation.kind` or equivalent observation payload
+
+Stable structured failure fields include:
+
+- `data.kind`
+- `data.selector` when selector-related
+- `data.mode` when selector-related
+- `data.candidates` for ambiguous selector failures
+- `data.message` for invalid selector failures
+- `data.wait`
+- `data.timeout_ms`
+- `data.poll_ms`
+- `data.last_observation`
+
+## Best-Effort Fields
+
+These values are useful but environment-dependent and should be treated as best-effort:
+
+- exact monitor naming conventions
+- EWMH/window-manager-dependent window ordering details
+- cosmetic text formatting in non-JSON mode
+- screenshot file names when the caller did not provide an explicit path
+- command stderr wording outside the structured `kind` classifications above
+
+## Text Mode Expectations
+
+Text mode is intended to stay compact and follow-up-useful.
+
+The exact whitespace/alignment of text output is not stable.
+The following expectations are stable at the behavioral level:
+
+- important runtime reads print actionable identifiers or geometry
+- selector failures print enough detail to recover without `--json`
+- artifact-producing commands print the artifact path
+- window listings print both `@wN` refs and `window_id` values
+
+If an agent needs strict parsing, it should use `--json`.
